The average speed was 45mph. This means he went to 90mph in those 30 seconds.
I'll bet you never did well on brain teasers. Here's one for you - if on a two-mile journey you go at a speed of 30MPH for the first mile, how fast do you have to go in the second mile to average 60MPH for the trip?
Once people start living to be 1,000 or so then it begins to influence behavior in many ways. Things that have an acceptable risk now become absurdly dangerous. Over time, nearly everyone you know who dies does so from some tragic accident. Things like drinking and driving, motorcycles, small planes, crossing a busy street against the light, etc. all become too risky.
The minimum age for voting, driving, drinking all go way up. We're all just skulls full of mush at 21 and have no business making important decisions. (The age for enlistment in the armed forces of course stays the same, as nobody else would actually do it.)
General health care becomes much more important, as does nutrition and controlling obesity. Smoking of course is right out. This is only scratching the surface, but everything takes on a longer-term view, and no doubt ultimately we're better off for it.
Look, every business I see, including ours, runs on PCs running Windows/Office locally. Go *find* an exception to that rule.
My company right here. We have employees both in the local office and on two other continents, and they all work the same way - through a browser-based app. The advantages are big. No installations, no updates, and I can work from anywhere I am in the world. While you may be running Windows/Office locally, I don't even permit employees to run Windows.
The 6502 would require tens (possibly hundreds) of instructions for that type of operation, more for division, and significantly more for floating point.
Yes, it had only add and subtract operations. Multiplication required a series of shifts and adds. Although I could have looked it up, as a fledgling assembly language programmer I was quite thrilled when I worked out multiplication and divison. And while I still remember most of the 6502 opcodes, now of course that's just wasted neurons that could be put to better use.
NBIS may own copyrights on that data because they have invested tens or hundreds of thousands in employees and installing those transponders. They can only recoup the cost + make a profit by charging tens of thousands per month.
Their motivation is clear, but data is not typically copyrightable. That they have invested money and want to make a profit doesn't change that.
If I migrate to a Latin American country that is on the "high HDI" list, but there's suddenly an authoritarian government coup in the country next door, who then starts agitating for a similar takeover in my new home country, how strongly will my new country be able to resist backsliding into anarchy or despotism?
You could try Costa Rica. No military at all. And there's no way that any activities in Nicaragua will spill over. It would, if anything, have the opposite effect.
You changed the spelling, and keeping the original spelling is the central point of using sic, so that the reader knows the error was in the original and not introduced by the quoter.
I sincerely doubt NYCL will ever try to correct the impressions he's giving
Seems to me that would be like "correcting" the impression that water is wet. And why in the world does he have to take a neutral stance anyway? That would be disingenuous.
Besides, IMHO...corporate tax is useless, it is just a hidden tax on the consumer, since a corporation just passes this off onto the consumer as part of their cost of a product.
By that logic then personal income tax is useless, since an employee just passes this off onto his employer as part of his cost of employment. All taxes are on the economy. They just get attached in places deemed appropriate. But since the economy is so complex there are often surprising and unintended consequences to those attachments.
Agreed, Seeing as most stations have slews of cameras, he's rather lucky not to be caught.
The chances of being caught have nothing to do with the fact that it's theft. If the risk of being caught determines how you act then you should rethink your principles. It's easy to do the right thing when you'll get noticed. It's when you know that you could get away with it that reveals your true character.
I personally know many people who have had cosmetic surgery, and they all look better. And not one of them regrets it. It is much more common, and the work more subtle, than posters here seem to think.
He won't do anything that isn't in his business interests either. Ethics don't come into it for lawyers.
I don't personally know Mr. Beckerman, but based on what I've I'd say that ethics enters into nearly everything he does.

Would Apple really have money to buy EA?
Apple cut cut a check tomorrow without breaking a sweat. And I notice that they would have enough cash left over to also cut a check for Dell, which would make for an amusing day of shopping.
In the mean time I note that Mininova still has in excess of 200 seeds and leaches active on the Fallout 3 DLC released a few days ago. So that's some good anti-piracy filter.

You forgot a a major part of the system. It doesn't start at the batteries. It starts and the power plant. The losses over just the transmission lines are estimated at 7.x%.
And of course the gasoline gets to the station by magic fairies.

When you get to 68, keep going. Your arithmetic is not done. 2040 is not miles, and 30 is not hours, so that 68 does not represent miles per hour.
Say, you don't know this guy, do you?
Yes, of course. There is a small processing fee that has to be covered. Please send immediately so that these funds can be released to you.

Have you looked near Redwood Regional Park? On the side of a hill?
Maps are the presentation of data, not the data itself.

I'm guessing none of them read it either, and just took the first poster's word for it.
